For the character controlled by the player at all times, see Account.

A playable character is a character that can be temporarily controlled by the player. The options with the character are very limited, and are usually restricted to movement, combat and the inventory screen. Each character serves a specific purpose. Currently, they are used only in quests, Fremennik Sagas and the Player-owned Port minigame.
